Sarah St. Onge is a pro-life activist whose family has been deeply economically impacted by the COVID lockdowns in New York State. In this conversation we speak about her Pro-Life views, how "bodily autonomy" means something different to the Pro-Life Right and the Pro-Vaccine Mandate Left, and how her family is struggling to survive after being shut out of work over the 2020 – 2021 lockdown period.

DR. ROLLERGATOR was making waves on twitter until he crossed a line. (A very silly line, but still.) His twitter persona was quirky and brash, but when I looked into his essays, I found a deep thinker who could translate complexity into coherency, on a number of issues. In this discussion, we talk about media narratives and power politics and how he sees conspiracies everywhere, while still not being a conspiracy theorist.

Erin Friday's daughter suddenly identified as "trans" when she was 11 years old. After many months of patient care, and getting the girl out of the California school system, Erin's daughter left the "trans" identity aside and is now a healthy, artistic kid. But Erin's experience with California education's full-blown promotion of trans identities has set her the war path, and she's asking parents to stand up for the sake of vulnerable children.

Jenni is a Finnish woman who's menstrual cycle from the start was tough going. This, along with other compounding medical issues, and a personality at odds with her small dairy town, sent her in search of a big fix for all her problems. She eventually found trans identification, and followed through on hormones and a double mastectomy—then realized what she thought was a fix was only breaking her further.  Connect with her on twitter https://twitter.com/WeftOfSoul Support this channel via https://www.subscribestar.com/benjaminboyce
